Used shower water may carry soil into porous materials. The technician evaluates the water category and removes unsuitable material before final drying.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   The response starts with source control and liquid removal. Air drying alone cannot efficiently handle pooled water under the bathroom.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Water from a sink can follow a pipe opening before it appears below. Mapping identifies the affected cavity beyond the visible drip.

3. Open material that traps water

   Contaminated toilet water can make porous materials unsuitable to keep. The crew removes affected material and sanitizes the exposed surfaces.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The drying team adjusts equipment when a cavity stays wetter than nearby materials. Final readings support the handoff to repair work.
